Chapter 10

Mingyi's face turned red because of his choking.

What do you mean he knows? He knows, then what? What should I do tonight? Should I... or not?

Xie Shu said nothing more.

This incoherent sentence made Mingyi feel confused. Her heart was pounding and her thoughts seemed to be floating in the air. She followed Xie Shu out of the palace in a daze and got on the carriage back to Yiyuan.

The carriage was driving in the middle of the road. The sound of galloping horses and the crisp sound of wheels rolling over the gravel road came into the carriage, disturbing people's mood.

The closer Mingyi got to Yiyuan, the more nervous she became.

She looked absentmindedly at the hazy night outside the car window, but the corner of her eyes quietly fell on Xie Shu.

His hands were long and clean, with distinct knuckles, and looked particularly good when he held a pen or a sword. Mingyi's eyelashes trembled slightly, remembering that his five fingers had once gently sank into her long hair, entwining and intertwining.

Her breathing quickened for a moment, and her eyes moved slightly, landing on his collar, which was always buttoned tightly.

Further up were his lips, thin and delicate. In her memory, his lips were unusually warm and soft, contrary to his cold and aloof temperament.

Mingyi's palms tightened involuntarily when she thought about what she might have to do in a while.

"What are you looking at?" Xie Shu seemed to notice her gaze and suddenly asked.

"Nothing..." Mingyi pretended not to see him and looked out the window, a layer of light pink mist covering her cheeks, "The moonlight is so beautiful."

Xie Shu glanced at her dimly: "It's raining outside, there's no moon."

Mingyi's breath got stuck in his throat: "..."

Thanks to his lack of understanding of romance, Mingyi's anxious mood eased. But not long after, Yiyuan arrived, and her heart, which had just calmed down, immediately became uneasy again.

The two of them got off the carriage together and walked into Yi Garden.

Mingyi's maid Yunying came out and said respectfully to Mingyi: "I have prepared water for Your Highness. Would Your Highness like to take a bath first?"

In fact, Mingyi always takes a bath after returning home from going out. This has always been her habit. But tonight, "bathing" seems to have a different meaning.

Mingyi struggled for a moment, blushing and whispering: "I want..."

As soon as she said this, she was embarrassed and her heart was pounding. She looked at Xie Shu beside her and asked softly, "What about you?"

Would you like to take a shower first?

"I'm going to the study." Xie Shu said slowly, "I still have some memorials to read."

Mingyi was stunned: "Ah?" Then tonight...

"Are you anxious?" Xie Shu looked down at her.

Mingyi choked and clenched her palms in shame and anger. She felt uncomfortable and turned her head away, denying with gritted teeth: "I didn't do it."

Xie Shu smiled faintly and just looked at her without saying anything.

Ming Yi angrily asked: "What are you looking at?"
